Introductory Webinar on Art

From Canvas To Claim: An Introduction To Art For The Insurance Market 

When disaster strikes, a policyholder is likely to turn to his broker and/or insurer for a solution – whether 
that’s a like-for-like replacement, something similar, a repair or simply a cash payout. 

Who are the buyers of art – why and where do they buy, and is it a growing market?   What should a broker or insurer bear in mind when putting a policy in place?  

For how much should it be insured? And what can 
a policyholder do proactively to manage their risk? 

This webinar is for:  - Brokers and insurers who insure art for private and commercial clients, along with other asset classes (such as jewellery, watches and antiques), claims handlers and loss adjusters who want to understand what to look for in, and risks around valuations with which they may be presented

 
Compliance teams considering how to ensure clients and policyholders get the information they need to make informed decisions, and that they are treated fairly
